API's Greco urges EPA to modify short-term RFS targets

OnPoint: Tuesday, May 7, 2013

As Congress continues to debate the merits of the renewable fuel standard, what impact would a repeal of the law have on the future of cellulosic ethanol? During today's OnPoint, Bob Greco, group director of downstream and industry operations at the American Petroleum Institute, discusses his industry's investments in second-generation biofuels and why the current RFS targets cannot be met. He calls on U.S. EPA and Congress to change the short-term targets of the RFS and eventually follow with a full repeal of the law.
